Like I said in the post it should have been an interesting thread and some people are posting relevant stuff but as the days have gone on it’s been more and more the same few people having a pop off each other. I don’t think I’m above anyone and I’m happy to concede that my opinions on the subject may be wrong.

The transmission rate has dropped below 1, and community transmission is now next to zero, as was made clear in last nights update. Say what you want "there are plane loads of people arriving in ireland! Stena line brought in 1000's of cars! People arent following social distancing!".... community transmission is down to pretty much zero, as confirmed by the government. Bear in mind in the real world, plenty of people are still going to work in their essential roles, using public transport etc. Last nights update had plenty of great news, showing we are making seriously good progress - but that doesn't suit the agenda of people who are hell bent on being miserable, and catastrophising everything. Why are people so determined to ignore any sort of good news and progress.

I also think that things will begin to open up to some extent in May. That said I cannot see pubs opening again, or sporting events etc. getting back to normal for a long, long time.

I can't walk down my own street without coming into contact with dozens of other people, some of whom are still coughing without covering their mouths or panting in everyone's face as they jog on the pavement. But, sure, tell me I'm exaggerating, yeah.

lainey_d_123 wrote: » God, you're so clueless, it's embarrassing. You come across as a culchie who has never been to an actual city. You do realise London is a very big place? Do you grasp the scale of it? It's not like Dublin. The centre is very dead, yes, because nobody actually lives there, so of course it's quiet. The suburbs, and especially the overcrowded, poorer ones like where I live, are still busy. People are out walking, shopping, trying to exercise on pavements. The small parks have reopened but are still extremely busy, even at 7am. I can't just teleport myself to St James Park, can I? I can't use public transport, it's too far to walk, and even if I could walk there, I still need to use the crowded streets around my flat to get there, putting myself at the same risk. Common sense is in short supply around here, honest to God.

In addition, you observed that people aren't respecting the coughing etiquette so what makes you think that this will change with the lifting of restrictions? I am not having a go at you I genuinely don't see any logic whatsoever.

No one in this thread, not you not I, not anyone has a clue about this virus - so what gives you the right to say you can immediately tell who hasn't an absolute clue what they are talking about? Your worried about your kid not getting back to school anytime soon, yet there are people worried on here that they might not see a loved one every again because they are in a nursing home - maybe some perspective required?

The week the schools closed, a vomitting bug hit a colleagues class and they had 10 children missing and they ended up cleaning vomit up after another 3 on the Thursday who no doubt would have been out on Firday had there been school. Anyone with school aged chldren can tell you how quick a bug or head lice spead in a class.
